Since a heat sink is simply a block of metal, so long as you can make contact with the surface you're trying to draw heat from, it will work. I guess the answer is no, but as with most things, if you're persistant enough, you can MAKE it work. ---------------------------------------- Thanks, MCheu |

It can work, but you need be sure the clip isn't too stiff and breaks the socket lugs, the later socket 7 CPUs were taller. Also many socket 7 boards had less room around the socket, so it'd have to be a relatively small socket 370 or 'A' 'sink. It depends on the specific heatsink and motherboard. Dave |
